Why Sphere

Live Your Passions

We provide our employees with opportunities to work on large-scale
projects with Fortune 500 companies and promising startups in the
United States, United Kingdom, and Israel both onsite and
remotely. Since 2005, we’ve rewarded our employees’ commitment
by giving them the chance to work on cutting edge, intuitive web
and mobile custom solutions for a multitude of industries.

Join Our Global Team

Although our team is dispersed around the world, we’re united by our
culture of excellence — not just in our work, but in how we treat
coworkers and clients. In addition to our Chicago headquarters, we
value collaboration between our 7 state-of-the-art research and
development labs in New York, Miami, Buenos Aires, St. Petersburg,
Minsk, Kharkiv, and Kiev.

Grow Your Talents

As part of our team, you’ll have access to our training and
professional development opportunities, including valuable
academic enrichment from our Sphere Academy. This program
allows Junior Developers to sharpen their skills in product
management, UX / UI design, databases, front-end coding and
more. Our curriculum continuously evolves to keep up with
industry trends and technological advancement.

Share Your Expertise

We provide our engineers with opportunities to present their
ideas alongside thought leaders at international conferences.
Additionally, many of our employees are invited to network with
the developer community at our conference — SphereCon — and
learn best practices from some of the top companies around
the world.

Become a Sphere Ambassador

At Sphere, we don’t just hire smart people — we hire problem
solvers who explore new possibilities, experiment frequently, and
enjoy the process. Our team members bring diverse viewpoints to
the table — they are designers, product managers, architects,
software engineers, as well as marketing and sales professionals
who are not afraid to take ownership of their work.

Build New Friendships

In addition to collaborating at the office, we meet up at company
outings, happy hours, and holiday parties. From barbecuing to ATV-ing,
we celebrate our success and form lasting bonds that extend outside
the workplace.

Receive Competitive Benefits

We monitor the industry to ensure competitive salaries, vacation, and
benefit packages. In addition to offering rapid professional growth and
leadership development, we provide regular reviews and dynamic
workshops to foster employee growth. Our team members enjoy a
relaxed dress code and flexible work hours so they can meet family
and personal obligations.

Become a Part of Our Mission

We provide our clients worldwide with technological expertise and
customer service that exceeds expectations, while helping them
gain a competitive advantage. We accomplish this by acting with
integrity, accountability, and developing our employees to their full
potential. We’re always on the lookout for individuals who align with
our core values and who want to have fun in the process.

Screening, Training, and Mentoring

We’re committed to screening and recruiting the very best talent available — we only hire the top 3% of software engineers.
In addition to testing for technical excellence, we assess each candidate’s cultural fit. We design our interviews to identify
individuals with strong communication skills, a “team player” mentality, and a commitment to excellence.

Before engaging in client work, our junior developers must complete an extensive training process that emphasizes
software best practices in test-driven development, pair programming, Agile SCRUM, Kanban, and XP. Code reviews and
testing automation tools confirm that new hires meet pre-set goals and support Sphere’s commitment to continuous
integration and delivery. These rigorous requirements ensure that our team members are productive from day one.

As part of our mentoring program, junior developers work with senior engineers who guide them through all aspects of a
project. Our 360° Academy further exposes them to cutting edge technologies and strategies related to coding, testing,
product management, and UI/UX design. Junior employees also receive regular reviews through Chairlift.io, a performance
management SaaS solution we designed to heighten engagement and assess accomplishments.

In addition to day-to-day client work, we’re incubating a number of SaaS solutions, mobile apps, and consumer websites in Sphere
Labs — our in-house training and R&D center. All of our team members have access to this hands-on experience, designed to
encourage ideas, foster innovation, and support employees as they pursue their passion projects.
